4.0 out of 5 stars Just the facts, please., November 8, 2007

This review is from: Secrets of the Dead Sea Scrolls (DVD)

Viewing the National Geographic video "Mysteries of the Dead Sea Scrolls" and then viewing this video, I felt appalled at National Geographic. In contrast to many ridiculous films (like Nat Geo's) this film is just the facts, no more, no less.

It is a wonderful, if dry, documentary, and very useful for teaching. The film offers everything you need to know, and none of the sensational fluff I've found in other material.

Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Insightful, January 18, 2007

This review is from: Secrets of the Dead Sea Scrolls (DVD)

This was a very well done documentary on the history of the Dead Sea Scrolls. It was fascinating to see where the scrolls are held on display to the public, some of the behind the scenes of repairing and maintaining the scrolls, as well as a brief history of how they were found. This is highly recommended as it is done sort of Dragnet style, 'just the facts'.

This review is from: Secrets of the Dead Sea Scrolls (DVD)

It's a great introduction to the Dead Sea Scrolls : where they were found, who hid them there & why? Science confirms the authenticity of the texts written more than 2000 years ago by the Essenes sect. The documentary stays away from controversy by sticking to the science & the generally accepted dogma on the texts. Great introduction to this important find of our time!
